Why this utensil washer earns its place
The Hobart FT119 is built for the heavy end of warewashing: pots, pans, cast iron cookware, baking tins, trays and racks. The manufacturer states that the twin model doubles the amount that can be washed per cycle, so it is aimed at kitchens where the pot-wash queue is driven by cookware volume rather than tableware alone.
Its footprint is the key planning point. At 1984mm x 1375mm x 945mm and 315kg gross weight, the FT119 needs a proper delivery path, enough pot-wash space around the machine and a services check before order. The build is stainless steel with a silver finish, matching the kind of hard-use back-of-house area this machine is for.
The catalogue specifies 400V, three-phase power and a drain pump. That combination should be checked against the site services before committing, especially on refurbishment jobs where drainage height and electrical supply may already be fixed.
